Hydraulic Hook-up
The required number of duplex outlets at the tractor is
dependent upon how the cutter is set-up. The standard
cutter is equipped with three hydraulic cylinders with one
in the center for lifting the cutter and one on each wing for
folding the wings simultaneously. All three cylinders are
set-up for single action (one-way) operation.
Each duplex outlet on your tractor can perform only one
operation. One outlet is needed for lifting the cutter and
one for lifting the wings simultaneously. A third outlet is
required if the wings are lifted independently. This will
also require replumbing the wing hydraulic cylinders.
Your Land Pride dealer can help you determine the best
configuration that will match your needs and your tractor
capabilities. An optional control valve kit is available if the
tractor does not have the required number of duplex
outlets. For additional information, see
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene

Figure 1-12
Refer to Figure 1-12:
1. Route hydraulic hoses (#7) through hose support
loop (#10) and attach couplers to tractor remote
outlets. If tractor has a float option on one of the
outlets, connect wing lift hose to that outlet and set
tractor control lever for that outlet in float position
before cutting.
2. Secure hydraulic hoses together with zip ties as
needed to keep them from pinch areas caused by
raising and lowering the deck, folding the wings up
and down, and while making turns with the tractor.
